Thanks for all the postings!
I understand that the circuit breaker is the way to go, but I am
looking for a quick fix for a short period of time for now. I've tried
asking for old panel covers somebody might have saved, but no luck so
far. The pull out has GE on it, but I am not sure if the panel is the
same. Even so, I know that nobody manufacture these any more. I'll keep
looking for now and hope I can find a solution.
Thanks for all who try to help!
